Being born a woman pretty much guarantees you will always have options, it's almost impossible for women to reach a certain decade and to have always been alone or never dated but very easily possible for guys and Men.

I'm sure the majority of people in the world who reach 30+, 40+ and older, and have never dated, never been in a relationship before.

Are mostly male dominated cases.

Says a lot that you consider that political. How few of those qualities do you possess?

I'm a progressive woman and I don't see anything wrong with this post. It doesn't guarantee you'll find anyone (really good men are rare) but all of these qualities are desirable for anyone of any political persuasion.

It’s not appearance or attractiveness. As DH says, that will only get a woman a conversation, not a commitment.

Character judgement have to lead materialism or other qualities sought. It has to be #1. That’s not luck. It’s a decision.

I lived in a developing country in my 20s. I saw a lot of women in the host country end up with men in my group. The men in my group, being young, weren't wealthy, but they were educated and American. Usually they were nothing to brag about, in terms of physical attributes. Some had nice personalities and some didn't. We joked that the country was "ugly man's paradise."

The women they ended up with were usually educated, attractive, slim and if they had been American would have had more options. The American women in my group largely did not date men at all from the host country mostly due to their old fashioned gender expectations as well as the men's lack of education.

What I learned from this is men have more options than women for finding a partner. A woman who is a 10 will have to settle if she wants a partner.

Some people are realistic. Some people aren’t.

And back in the old days love was much easier to find since the great majority of women back then were very old fashioned and real ladies, which now most women are real narcissists and feminists .

What do you mean old fashioned? Like, they would cook and clean for men without question and get married to whoever offered because that was their only chance at financial stability? Whereas women today can earn money on their own so they can opt out of marriage if it involves taking care of a mediocre guy like he is a child?

Except the “old fashioned” standards expected men to be able to fully provide for his wife and family— women definitely did not marry “whoever offered”. The same men who post here yelling about feminism are posting on other threads saying women shouldn’t care how money men make.

If you stay in a relationship that doesn't end up in engagement for over a year or two (shorter time as you get older), it usually hurts your chances later. I stayed in a relationship for 4 years in my early 20s and eventually he told me he didn't plan to marry anyone until he was 40. After I kicked him to the curb, I actually dated more and met my dh of many years.

Lots of younger guys (and sometimes women ) don't want to get married any time soon, so don't let them tie you down. If you do,

Also, if you move in together before you are engaged and planning your wedding, it's sometimes becomes easier just to stay together when you aren't compatible. If you want to see if you can live together, do so after engagement.

It's also down to having a certain set of attributes. For many men it's things like:

Holds phone in hands a certain way
Always coming up with new dances
Tries different vegetables
Sends neighbors notes
Stacks coins
Has strong opinion on movies
Interested in the weather
Always carries a writing implement

Same goes for men. Life isn't fair. Not everyone gets a great marriage. It's life.
